I think I just lost 8 months of programs on my nova, but
with your help maybe it's salvageable. GOD I HOPE SO.

I've never done a sysex dump BTW. I D/L'd OS4. Read
the readme and the Pdf. did as it said and switched
sysex transmission to TOTAL DATA. hit record in my
sequencer(micro logic) and the file came out to be
about 28 measures long (I did it at 100 bpm). I changed
the name of a perfomance and then set sysex reception
to NORMAL RX and hit play on the sequencer. the
display flashed recieving sesex (or something similar)
and it ran thru all banks and patterns as if it were
loading. BUT, the perf name I changed stayed the
same, and I went to scroll thru my progs and they all
are the same one...A 02 every fucking one is A02.

wait... now it's changed, A01 is on A1-126, Poms bass
is on A127, B01- B126 is one of mine, and B127 is init
program. WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING. thay are
exactly like i set them but there are only 4 of my patches
on here.

HHHHHEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

Are you telling us that you didn't save your patches before you tried to upload a new OS ?

No, that was the first thing I did,

"switched sysex transmission to TOTAL
DATA. hit record in my sequencer(micro logic)
and the file came out to be about 28
measures long (I did it at 100 bpm)." That
should be my data FROM the Nova.


the problem occured before i did any OS
upgrading.

Ok, this keeps getting weirder. I thought,
maybe reload the flash and try again. I was
about to load 1 prog and test that, and when i
hit write to select where the prog would
load...there were all the names of my
programs.

The data is there but I can't select it. Does
anone know what I should do, or do you know
any tech support email adress's at
novation????? Your help is greatly
appreciated.

Flip through the pages in global mode and look for whatever parameter is set to the wrong value. For instance, you can't change anything in the synth unless it accepts sysex messages.

Remember... in global mode MEMORY PROTECT OFF and set the global chanel to meet your sequenzer track. ( TO RELOAD YOUR RECORDER SOUDNSET )

I'm not having any luck, even with your
suggestions (THANKS BTW). This sucks. All I
was trying to do was make a back up damn it.


I can see the names of my sounds when I try
and load a single prog from flash(which it
won't do) and I can even hear 3 of them. But
the thing won't won't go to the next prog name,
it only changes the # but the sound stays the
same.


thanks for your help.

dood, I think ya got Local Control off. Go to the global page and turn it on. If that's it, yer sounds should be there and you can make some tunes.

I agree with Psylichon, set Local Control to On and you should be fine. I think you'll find you haven't lost anything.

No I tried that as well. It gets worse. I've
effectively lost 8 months of work.


I can no longer flash load an individual
program, nor can I set a program to a part in
perf mode without being kicked back into prog
mode the instant I scroll thru progs.


I'd like to flash it to factory settings, how do I do
this?
